There may be instances when teachers will need to
spend time teaching or reviewing certain skills, concepts, or knowledge
prior to implementing an Internet-based project. This additional
instructional time may be incorporated into the beginning of the project,
may be assigned as extra-curricular work prior to starting the project or
may be delegated to another team teacher. It is important, however, to
identify the prerequisite skills and knowledge students must have prior to
implementing any Internet-based project and to develop a strategy for
ensuring that this is accomplished. Students may need to learn how to read
latitude and longitude coordinates and practice plotting coordinates on a
world map prior to the start of a collaborative project. It may also be the
case that students need instruction and practice on how to navigate on the
computer prior to undertaking an Internet-based project. This might be
accomplished by having students work with a computer instruction teacher
prior to beginning the project.
